The Yankee Girls. —' Mace Sloper,' in !
speaking of Yankee girls, says: I had a !
notion of saying something about the dif
ferent varieties of American young ladies
that are seen at a hotel table. But I real
ly heard an Irish waiter sing such a verse
about the different sorts last night, that 1
ant quite combed do\tn (for now at least,)
on trying any thing of the sort. And his
song:
' Bosthon gurrels for talking,
New York gurrels for drissing;
Philadelphy gurrels for manners,
And Balthimore gurrels for kissing
Canady gurrels for hugging, \
'Cinnati gurrels to be civil; \
St. Louis gurrels for ribbons,
And New Orleans gurrels for the divil.'
I couldn't see the waiter who sung these ;
lines, but I could hear him chanting away (
and brushing the iloor in time with a j
broom. 1 was seated in the box of an 1
eating house, and as 1 didn't care to get
up, I asked :
•How did you ever learn so much about !
American girls V
The broom stopped whisking about, and
over the too of the partition came the sin
gle word, in a sort of a whiskey baritone:
' Kxparience !'
Precocious Juvenile. —• Willy,' said a
doling parent at the breaklast table to an !
abridged edition of himself, who had just j
entered the grammar class at the high ,
school, ' Willy, my dear, will you pass j

anything. Butter itli a common ihubthan
tive, neuter gender, agreeth with hot buck
wheat cakthe, and ith governed bv thugar
houthe molatheth underthtood.'
Schoolmaster ' Kneeded.' —A shoema
ker received a note from n lady to whom
lie was particularly attached, requesting
him to make her a pair of shoes, and not j
knowing exactly the stsle she required,
he dispatched a written missive to her, i
asking her whether she would like them
'lt round or Esq. Toad: The lair one,

THE GREATEST
; MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our Common pasture weeds a
remedy that eures
Every Kind of Humor
front the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
HB has tried il in over 110.) cases, and never failed ex
cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) lie has
I now in his possession over two hundred certificate* of
! its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two buttles are warranted lo cure a nursing Sore
j Mouth.
One lo three bottles will core tlie worst kind of Pimples
on the Face
Two to three bottles will cieun tin- system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure lie; worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
( ease of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor in
the eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the
I Ears and Blotches among the Hair.
Fo0 to sit bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
] running Ulcers
| One buttle will cure Scaly Eruption of the -Skin.
| Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
! case of Ringworm.
i Two to three bottle# are warranted to cure the most
j desperate case of Rheumatism.
j Three to four bottles are warranted lo cure tile Sail
j Rheum.
I-'iveto eight bottles will cure the worst case of Scrof
ula
A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle,
j and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quauti
| ty is taken.
Reader,! peddled over a thousand bottles of this Li the
j vicinity of Boston. 1 know the effect of it in every case,
j 8o sure 3s water will extinguish lire, sosure will this
i cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold an-
I oilier ; after a trial il always speaks for itself. There
are two things about this herb that appears to me giir
j prising; first that it growsin our pastures,in some pla
j ees quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
i known until I discovered it in Is 10 — second, that il should
. cure all kind* of buuior.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great
j popularity of the discovery, I w ill stale that in April,
1 153, I peddled it and sold ab.mt *ix bottles per day—in
j April, 1854. 1 sold over one thousand buttles per day of it.
.Sortie of the wholesale Druggists who have been in
: business twenty and thirty year*, say that nothing in the
i annals of patent medicines as ever like it. There i* a
> universal praise of it from all quarters,
j In my ow ii practice 1 alwuyskept it strictly for humors
j bin since Us introduction asa general family medicine,
great and wonderful virtues have been found in it thai 1
, never suspected.
j Several rases ol epileptic lit*—a disease which was
! always considered incurable,have been cured by a few
| bottles, fi, w hat a mercy if it will prove effectual in all
! cases of that awful malady—there are few w ho have
' seen more of it than I have.
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of lliem aged
: people, cured bv it. For the various diseases of the Liv
er, Siik Headache. Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague,
Pant in the Side. Di*> U3v* of the Spine, and particularly
in disease* of the Kidneys, Ac., the discovery has dune
mure good than any medicine ever know u.
i No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you
t get and plenty of it.
DtaiM riu.%< run USE —Adult* one table spoonful per
' day—Children over 10 years, dessert spoonful—Children
; from ito 8 years, lea-spoonful. As no directions can be
applicable to all constitution*, lake sufficient to operate
on the bowels twice a day.

MANNY'S COMBINED
Mowing and Reaping Machine,.
WITH WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT,
For the Harvest of 1857.
A LL persons desirous of getting this celebra- |
ted machine will please send in their or- 1
tiers early, to prevent delay and disappointment I
as was the ca*e in so many instances last seas- j
on. This machine look the premium at Y'ork,
Huntingdon, Carlisle Chambersburg, Harris
burg, Ilellefonte, and other places too numerous
to mention. Last summer we had hundreds of
testimonials and official reports, vouching the
superiority of thi* machine over all others now
in use. This machine excels all others in the
following points, viz: Its. easy convertibility
from a Mower to a Reaper and rice versa; its
construction for adaptation to uneven surface ;
the ease with which it can be raised or lowered,
for cutting from two inches to eighteen inches
from the ground, which is done by means of a
lever controlled by the driver while in his seat;
its ease of draft, portability, and cleanness and
case of cut. Many of these features arc pat- \
ented and cannot be embodied in any other nta- j
chine, and all will admit how essential and in
dispensable they are to a complete combined j
machine. With each machine will be furnish
ed two scythes, two extra guards, two extra
sections, one extra pinion and wrench.
They are warranted to give satisfaction, eith
er as a Mower or Reaper, or no sale.

J Mr. H. M. Bowman—Dear rtir:—l feel it my duty to let
' you know what your compound has done for iny daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that
some sufler'ha one may be induced by it to try your va!
liable medicine ami be cured. My daughter was married
in 1853, and vveni to Cincinnati to live, where her hus
band (James Iloyt,) w** engaged in business. In six
months after her husband dlec- ' ser " or l' er to come
home, where in four months she W'< confined and caught
col<l which settled on h>r limits. ItseenieJ*lhouJhwe
could get nothing to help her We tried six fiifl" rent
physicians for over one year and then sent to New Turn
to a celebrated physiritn there, and she look medicine
from hiui for eight months ; but he could not cure her.—
ller cough was tiled and stubborn and seemed as (hough
it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough,
and lier breathing was at times very difficult. Failing to
get relief from physicians, we thought we would try AV
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she took it regular for seven
weeks, but it did her no permanent good. We then tried
Sellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but with ail she slill be
came worse, and it seemed as though she was beyond
cure, when one day my wife war in at one of our neigh
bor's houses (Mr M iyness') and she saw them give your
Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough
and she got three or four doses In bring home and try it.
After my daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas
ier, and we sent and got a bottie of it, and when it was
taken there was a marked change for the belter. 1 then
got mx bodies, th> most of which she took as due ted
until finally cured —it is three months since, and she Has
not had a sy m;it.|ii of the old complaint, and is getting as
lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to
G at that you may be prospered and that your Vegetable
Compound may be the means of restoring health to many,
as it has to one who is dear to us ; we cheerfully recom
mend it to the public as the best medicine for Lung Dis

Scene third will be an unri vailed exhibition of
CLOTHS AND CASSMEMS,
